This week on Substack, I take offense not with "Heated Rivalry," not with BookTok hockey romance in itself, not with the traitorous scallywag John Tavares... but with the fact that they point to the idea that we've wrongfully deemed NHL players compelling.

Hockey players are not worth this much lust
My favorite sport is being marred by the tragedy of me not getting it.

"A Barb is accustomed to deputizing themselves to an outside entity. We call that entity Nicki Minaj, but Barb scholars know it’s not her. It’s Something Else. Even the name “Minaj” implies a third presence."

Stunning!!!!!
I wrote about MAGA Minaj from the perspective of a Barb (a condition for which there is lamentably no known cure) johnpaulbrammer.substack.com/p/a-mf-monster

Dav Pilkey is a wizard. The way his work resonates with children across three generations (!) now is nothing short of staggering, and he still always seems to fly just under the radar as a kidlit titan.
my second grader is *obsessed* with everything dave pikey does. our house is overflowing with captain underpants and dog man and all the spin-offs www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/b...

Sally Rooney's books are distinctly hit or miss with my taste. Normal People = Hit. Intermezzo = Miss. But I'm ngl I kind of like this better than just wholesale liking/disliking. Makes every book a mysterious adventure.

Wow that's awful! What's being done about it?

This week on Substack, I tried to very frankly (but sensitively) discuss the current milieu of extremely thin celebrities and the discourses that have sprung up around them.

Gulp.

I must give Marty Supreme credit for making a scene where a man licks raw honey off of another man's hairy chest completely emotionally devastating.

Fascinated with the tooth-centered approach to face acting by the mocap actors in these movies.
Anyway here’s the scene from Avatar 3 where the hot murder lady and her soldier boytoy get horny shooting guns together

This week on Substack, I revisited a strange piece of VHS from my elementary school years.

Its intent was to teach me the danger of kidnappers, but instead educated me in the art of repulsion. Let's hear it for Corny the alien.

One week ago, I ambled through my morning in a daze after waking up to the news about Rob and Michele Reiner.

This week's Substack is devoted to Reiner's role as Mike on "All in the Family," the thing I'll probably remember him for even more than his films.

Super excited to have read over 60 books this year!

This is probably the most I've read for leisure at least since I was a child. When my OCD wasn't under control, reading was incredibly hard for me, and this was a big shift in terms of getting back into a hobby I used to love more than anything.

Kicking off things on here by cross-posting my latest substack about experiencing Breaking Bad for the first time in a meme-based cultural landscape.
